Re: Blazer interior rear panels

Why not just make them the same dimension as original panels, so they fit using the buyers existing hardware? No need for spacers, etc.

I'm assuming (bad idea, right ) that it's because there's not much of the CST hardware out there. anyone w/out the panels originally doesn't have the hardware so this is an option for them. Like my blazer that didn't have it. Plus, I like the way my panels look covering the end panels vs having those painted panels showing between the panel. It's a sleeker look IMHO (FWIW)

I hear ya, I didn't know the CST package was that rare, seems half or more of the blazers I've come across were. How about a short and long version? One for those that have the mounts, and a kit for those that don't or would like a more custom look covering the end panels.

Re: Blazer interior rear panels

Alumabond is slick just like regular aluminum. Alumabond is out now because I will have to put two breaks in order to fill the gap. I am going to mock up the panels out of aluminum. I have been swamped and will be getting back on this soon. The one thing that does concern me is how to ship them without them getting damaged.
